Objective: Syntax: Pretty

This document describes a lab experiment on solving signal flow graphs and finding transfer functions using MATLAB and Mason's Gain Formula. The objective is to solve signal flow graphs and find transfer functions. The theory section explains key MATLAB commands like syms, solve, pretty and transfer functions. Three exercises are included where students use these commands to find the transfer function for different signal flow graphs. The conclusion states that the lab teaches how to implement Mason's gain formula in MATLAB to calculate transfer functions. The lab assignment involves finding the transfer function for two additional signal flow graphs, one using MATLAB and one by hand.

LAB # 04
OBJECTIVE
To solve the signal flow graphs and find transfer function by using MATLAB & Masons Gain
Formula.

THEORY
1.

Syms: Short-cut for constructing symbolic objects


Syntax: syms

2.

Solve: The input to solve can be either symbolic expressions or strings. If eq is a


symbolic expression (x^2-2*x+1) or a string that does not contain an equal sign ('x^22*x+1'), then solve(eq) solves the equation eq=0 for its default variable (as determined by
findsym).
Syntax: solve

3.

Pretty:The pretty function prints symbolic output in a format that resembles


typeset mathematics. pretty(s)prettyprints the symbolic matrix S using the default line
width of 79.
pretty(s,n) prettyprints S using line width n instead of 79.
Syntax: pretty

4.

Transfer Function: Specifies the transfer function H(s) = s (Laplace variable).


You can then specify transfer functions directly as rational expressions in S or Z.
Syntax :< S= TF ('S')>
